Turnabout is a 2016 American crime thriller / murder mystery film written, produced and directed by Eric Brian Hughes and starring George Katt, Waylon Payne, Peter Greene, Sayra Player and Rosebud Baker.

Synopsis
Turnabout unfolds in the course of a night - the night Billy Cain swallows a bottle of pills and collapses into the ocean, willing the waves to swallow him up. Instead, some fishermen carry him back to shore. Still alive, Billy calls his old high school pal Perry Hayes, whom he hasn't seen in 15 years. Perry has a family now, and a respectable career as an optician, but his life isn't perfect. Perry picks up Billy and buys him a meal, grateful for the chance to talk truth with an old friend who's in no position to be judgmental. When Perry confides his marital woes, Billy convinces him they both need to visit a local strip club. Before it's over, they lure two strippers back to a motel room. The night turns into a haze of alcohol, sex and drugs. And somebody winds up dead.

Release
The film was released on VOD and DVD on March 20, 2020 by BayView Entertainment.
